Sebastian P.O.V

We won; no surprise there. I just wish it was me who threw the winning touchdown. This is just one more reason to hate that ass Wayland. All the girlfriends descend the bleachers and my eyes immediately find a certain redhead. I know Izzy made her over by the short, form-fitting green dress and curtain of red tresses. She actually looks beautiful, and I don't say that about any girls. Ugh, I'm going soft. Next thing you know I'll be hugging kittens and gazing at sunsets.

What makes a red-hot jealousy is when Clary presses her lips to Jace. The only thing that calms me is the fact that by tonight, she will want to kick his ass. I smirk as I stroll off the field and make my way to my place for the party. This is going to be good.

Jace P.O.V

Clary and I run to my car and drive off to my house so I can change before the party. Izzy said she would go straight there with Simon, I knew that would happen, and we would bring Will who skipped the game.

Clary follows me to my room and sits on my bed as I go to the bathroom to shower. I let the steam wrap around me as I wash my hair and body. When I step out, I change into a black t-shirt, a pair of jeans and throw on a pair of boots. I towel dry my hair and it falls just how I want it. When I step out into my room, I see Clary. But now, her dress is lying on the bed and she is wearing a pair of black skinny jeans. She is just tugging a shirt over her green lacey bra when she turns and smiles at me.

"Hey. I have heard about these parties, and figured I shouldn't walk in there showing that much skin," she explains as she adjusts her emerald crop top.

"Oh, you are right. I just wasn't expecting to see that when I walked out here," I reply smiling, wrapping my arms around her waist. She smiles back.

"But your Jace Wayland! I'm sure you have seen more than that!" she replies pecking my cheek.

"No, the rumors are just that, just rumors. I've never done *cough* that," I reply, my face flushing. I bury my face in her neck as she begins to chuckle.

"I think that makes you all the more adorable," she says before pulling away to toss on her leather jacket. I smile and follow her downstairs to find a waiting Will.

"Finally! Hell, I'm going to be thirty by the time we get to this party!" he exclaims, grabbing the car keys. We follow behind him and I let him drive my car, Clary and I sitting in the back. I play with her hair all the way to Seb's house and she has a warm hand on my knee. When we arrive, the party is already in full swing.

"Mr. and Mrs. Wayland, we have arrived," Will says in a british accent. I flush when he calls Clary Mrs. Wayland, but she just laughs a beautiful laugh and nods her head to him before getting out.

"Jace, she's a good one. Don't screw up," will says before getting out the car also. My thoughts drift to the bet as I meet Clary outside the front door, but brush the idea off. As soon as we enter, Maia and Jordan walk up to us, being trailed by Simon and Isabelle.

"Where is my little clone tonight?" Simon asks as they approach. At first I don't know who he's talking about, but then I remember Max.

"Max is with our neighbor. I'm going to stay an hour or so then go back. I promised I would watch movies with him all weekend and he wants to start tonight," Clary replies, smiling at the thought of Max. This makes me pull her flush against my side and whisper, "Can I join you two?"

"Of course, Max loves you. But I could do without," Clary whispers back smirking.

"Well then. Maybe I won't come over," I joke, feigning hurt.

"Fine by me," before I can retort, Sebastian stands on a table and screams, "Truth or dare in the basement!" Before I can think, Clary is getting pulled away by Izzy and Maia. I reluctantly follow knowing it will end with someone pissed or upset.

Maia, Jordan, Simon, Izzy, Sebastian, Jon, Clary, Will, Magnus, Alec, and I are sitting in a circle in Sebastian's game room in the basement.

"Okay, you have to do all dares and answer all truths, or face a mystery penalty," Sebastian explains. We all nod our assent and he turns to Magnus.

"Truth or dare?"

"Dare,"

"I dare you to kiss your crush," Magnus stands and walks over to Clary. Oh hell no! When he leans down, his lips don't connect with Clary's but with Alec's. We all gasp as Alec begins to kiss back. Clary has a knowing smile on her face, while we all look surprised. When they pull back, Alec is red as a tomato, but he just grabs Magnus and goes back upstairs.

"You knew?" I ask her. She smiles at the two and nods her head.

"Well, two down. Jace choose someone," Sebastian continues.

"Clary, truth or dare?" I smirk.

"Dare," she counters.

"I dare you to kiss your crush," she nods and gets up. She walks over to Will and places a kiss on his cheek. I feel hot jealousy and hurt burn my chest. Will looks just as surprised. Clary looks over to me and bursts out laughing.

"This isn't funny," I mumble. Then, she walks over to me and lifts my chin so my eyes meet hers. She presses her lips to mine. As she pulls away, she whispers, "I was kidding, I like only you," I smile like an idiot. She is about to walk back to her spot, but I grab her wrist and pull her down to my lap. She lands with a thud, but doesn't resist. Instead, she cuddles into my chest and my arms link around her waist.

"Jon, truth or dare?"

He looks as if he is going to pop a blood vessel as he watches Clary sitting in my lap. "Truth"

"Why do you care if I date Jace so much? You date the most random, bitchy girls and now that I'm dating a guy your friends with, you 'don't approve'" she asks.

His face softens a little before he answers. "I don't like this," he gestures to us, "because I know the real reason he's dating you," he doesn't elaborate, he just walks out the door, leaving me panicked, Seb smirking and everyone, including Clary confused.

Clary P.O.V

The real reason. What real reason? Jace and I were friends that became more. I turn in his grasp to see him worried. I spare a glance to Sebastian and see he's smirking.

"Jace, what is he talking about?" I whisper to him. Just as he opens his mouth to answer, Sebastian speaks.

"I'm sorry Clare-bear, but you were a bet," I feel a cold sweat break out on my back as I watch Jace lower his head.

"I bet Jace he couldn't get you to date him and get you nominated for homecoming queen," he replies.

"But I'm not nominated. Kaelie, Seelie and Aline are nominated,"

"Not exactly," Maia broke in, nervously, "a new poll list went out this morning. After your kiss with Jace, you became a front runner. I was going to tell you at lunch,"

I turn to Jace and slap him across his golden cheek before getting up and running out the door.
